Is it back? Do we have it?
Mr. Longfield is nodding, so that's good.
These are just some instructions for handling the microphones and the earpieces. If people aren't careful, it can injure the interpreters, so I'm going to read a few guidelines.
Please keep in mind the preventive measures in place to protect the health and safety of all participants, including interpreters.
Use only an approved black earpiece, like the one I have on my ear. The old grey earpieces should no longer be used. That said, I don't see any around here.
Always keep your earpiece away from all microphones. When you're not using your earpiece, put it face down on the round sticker on the table. This will help protect our interpreters' health.
Without further ado, let's welcome our first panel of witnesses.
We have Céline Bak from Deloitte, Faith Goodman from the Goodman Sustainability Group, Daan Van Acker from InfluenceMap, and Renaud Brossard and Krystle Wittevrongel from the Montreal Economic Institute.
We'll start with Madam Bak.
You have five minutes for an opening statement.
